Phillips: 6 In the first half kept hold of the ball rather than punting it upfield straight away, thus losing us some tactical advantages a couple of times Dijksteel: 6 Bauer: 6 Sarr: 7 Looked very solid Purrington: 6 Cullen: 6 Reeves: 6 Aribo: 8 Excellent game Williams: 7 More dangerous than most of our squad Parker: 6
Phillips: 6.5 , didnt really have anything to do, poor kicking Dijksteel: 7, solid enough but not RB Bauer: 7.5 dealt with anything they had to offer Sarr;: 7, wasn't as dominant as BFG Purrington: 6.5, doesn't really offer much Cullen: 7, worked hard and gets everywhere Reeves: 6 pretty much anonymous and chasing shadows Aribo: 6 Didn't really impose himself Williams: 6.5, touches of quality surprised he was subbed Parker: 6.5 limited, can hold on to the ball but found it hard to link up with Taylor Taylor: 6, poor game, well marshaled never looked a threat Marshall: 7 Thought was good when he came on, not stand out but did ok
Igor- Looked decent and offered pace when he comes on, think we should try him and Taylor as its bit less one dimensional
Ref: 5 - Dogshite, gave us nothing and missed alot. Between him and the linesman they were below average.
Phillips: 6 not much to do. Distribution poor Dijksteel: 7 needed his extra strength against a big side Bauer: 7 stood up well Sarr;: 7 some nice touches again Purrington: 6 steady Cullen: 7 not as impressive as last week but tried hard Reeves: 5 appalling free kick Aribo: 8 mom Williams: 5 poor final ball Parker: 5 we’ve got what we bought a journeyman Taylor: 5 Prima Dona Marshall: 6 gave it a go Referee: 5 allowed time wasting from early on and missed some bookings far worse than Taylors
Phillips: 6 nothing to do Dijksteel: 6 Bauer: 8 Sarr;: 8 Purrington: 5 offers absolutely nothing . God I wish he were Jay Dasilva Cullen: 5.5 not his game Reeves: 3 anonymous Aribo: 6.5 Williams: 6 not his game Parker: 3 garbage Taylor: 5.5 tried hard Marshall: 5 what does he do ? Referee: 3 overweight and slow
Phillips: 6 Handling good, kicking awful. Dijksteel: 7 Good game. Bauer: 7 Good game. Sarr;: 8 Superb MOM Purrington: 7 Good game. Cullen: 6.5 Lots of possession, but like the others, created little. Reeves: 6 I'm giving up on Reeves, rarely produces and even rarer that he plays 90 mins. Sick note from day 1. Aribo: 7.5 superb performance considering it was his first game back. If only the other midfielders were as good. Williams: 6 See comments above re Reeves. Pretty much identical in so many ways. Parker: 5 The game passed him by. Taylor: 6 I wish Taylor would try and play some football, instead of wrestling, collecting yellow cards and acting. Marshall: 6.5 Thought he did quite good. Referee: 7 Pretty decent.
Phillips: 6.5, not much to do. Kicking wasn’t great but throws got us moving Dijksteel: 6.5, grew into game second half. Heavy touch at times Bauer: 6, didn’t have too much to deal with but couple of moments he shined the ball badly Sarr;: 8, up against a decent striker. Came out on top and also looked confident coming forward. Was a beast at the back Purrington: 6, did ok and was better in second half but balls into box were never a threat Cullen: 6.5, tried get us going Reeves: 5, poor throughout the half. Gave ball away several times Aribo: 7.5, great performance considering just back. Probably one or two too many attempted tricks when not needed Williams: 5, offered very little in final third and his two pull backs were criminal Parker: 5, non existent Taylor: 5, poor game, lost his head in second half moaning at Lapslie and giving away silly fouls Marshall: 7, gave us lots more energy and effort down right hand side and helped his full back Referee: 5, weak and poor decisions. Blackpool hacked our players down three times in the first half on halfway line when we were breaking and did nothing about it. Allowed them to time waste from about 30 mins in
Phillips: 6 solid Dijksteel: 6 lively, needs more focus Bauer: 6.5 solid Sarr;: 7.5 MOTM at the start of the season I remember being ridiculed when suggesting he needs to play in midfield Purrington: 7 simple and effective Cullen: 7 tidy Reeves: 7 he can be very creative with his passes, forgivable free kick. Aribo: 6.5 bags of ability, needs to make the right decisions when passing Williams: 6.5 like his eye for goal Parker: 6 undecided about him... Taylor: 5.5 when he's good he messes up the opposition's defence. Today he messed up ours and himself. Marshall: 6 some good energy play and crosses. Referee: 4.5 bizarre...
Phillips: 6 solid Dijksteel: 6 lively, needs more focus Bauer: 6.5 solid Sarr;: 7.5 MOTM at the start of the season I remember being ridiculed when suggesting he needs to play in midfield Purrington: 7 simple and effective Cullen: 7 tidy Reeves: 7 he can be very creative with his passes, forgivable free kick.

Taylor: 5.5 when he's good he messes up the opposition's defence. Today he messed up ours and himself. Marshall: 6 some good energy play and crosses. Referee: 4.5 bizarre...
Phillips:6.5 solid but kicking was poor Dijksteel: 5 Bauer: 6.5 solid as always Sarr;: 7.5 a handfull Purrington: 6 Cullen: 6 Reeves: 6 Aribo: 7.5 fine display Williams:7 did ok a threat Parker: 7 settling in well Taylor: 5 his hands were in the air more than philips just get up and get on with it Marshall: 6 Referee: 3 poor This was against a average side any one with a bit of force going forward we would have been 2 or 3 down after 20 mins as the 1st 20 mins was shocking and full of mistakes This can't be all grants fault now
Phillips: 6 Dijksteel: 7 Bauer: 7 Sarr;: 8 Purrington: 6.5 Cullen: 6 Reeves: 6 Aribo: 8 Williams: 6 Parker: 5 - no wonder he was surplus at priest field Taylor: 5 stupid booking and likely to get another shortly Marshall: 7 Referee: 4 dog shit
Phillips: 6.5 poor kicking day. Dijksteel: 7 strong boy but makes mistakes Bauer: 6 I thought he was shaky. Sarr: 8 MoM by a mile. Purrington: 7 did fine overall Cullen: 6.5 made mistakes but works hard Reeves: 5 normally good at home, Poor and hooked Aribo: 7.5 showed skill in 1st game back. Williams: 6 final ball was shocking. Parker: 6.5 did ok, and at least tried 2 shots that were blocked. Taylor: 6 don't turn every game you play into a wrestling match. Surprise, surprise another yellow card. Marshall: 6.5 played ok but his crossers are poor Referee: 5.5 TBF we were so bad 1st half we needed someone to blame.
Lapslie n/a Vetokele: n/a did more in 10 minutes than 90 last week. Could he start scoring ASAP
Phillips: 7 some crucial moments where he done well yesterday. If he could kick the ball, he'd probably be the best keeper in the league for me. Dijksteel: 5.5 not a full back and would've much preferred Solly. Bauer: 6 this is going to be a bit unpopular as I know we have kept another clean sheet, but I don't think he is as good as people make him out to be. Still, solid enough Sarr: 8 alongside Aribo, best player on the pitch yesterday. He has improved so much and is fast becoming a favourite for POTY Purrington: 6.5 much, much better second half. Got forward well and most of our better attacks came down our left. Cullen: 7 alongside Aribo, controlled the second half. If we had that more cutting edge up front though he wouldn't need to do as much as he does for the team. Reeves: 5.5 really poor free-kick at the end of the first half but I feel we would've been better had it been Reeves behind Taylor rather than Williams in the second half. Aribo: 8 great to have him back. Showed us what we have all been missing. Let's hope he signs that contract. Williams: 6 got into some good positions and caused them problems but that final part of his game, the assists is probably letting him down at the moment. Parker: 5.5 don't think he offered much at all. Igor came on and showed more in the time he was on than Parker did previously. He is no replacement for Grant, it's embarrassing the gulf in quality. Taylor: 6.5 Very frustrating day for Lyle. They targeted him throughout to wind him up and it worked, he was ultimately less effective and getting booked for practically nothing in the first half would not have helped his game. Marshall: 6 Offered more down the right than Parker on the left. Again that final ball just isn't good enough right now.
Referee: 3 where do they find these officials from? I despair.
Phillips: 7 Dijksteel: 6 - Good going forward but cant defend Bauer: 6.5 Sarr;: 8.5 (MOM ) defended well but some great forward passes as well Purrington: 7.5 Cullen: 7. Reeves: 6.5 Aribo: 7.5 Williams: 7 Parker: 5.5 Did not get in the game Taylor: 7. silly booking - needs to stop this otherwise we will be missing him again Marshall: 8.0 best game i have seen him play Referee: 3
Lapslie: n/a Vetokele: n/a - looked like he was a few years ago when he started with us
Phillips: 6 - didn’t do much, reasonably assured. Needs to release the ball quicker sometimes, Bowyer agreed start of the second half! Dijksteel: 6.5 - shaky at the start but thought he grew into it and did well. Bauer: 6.5 - decent without anything spectacular. Stupid tackle gave away a dangerous free kick. Sarr;: 7.5 - immense second half. Their striker was a real handful though, especially first 20 minutes Purrington: 7 - good display and looked decent going forward 2nd half. Pissed me off once when he didn’t play to the whistle which resulted in a big chance for them. Cullen: 6.5 - tidy player. Offers little going forward but he’s a DM. Reeves: 5.5 - poor Aribo: 7 - nice comeback and he could be a big player if we can secure the unlikely promotion. Only criticism is he became a bit predictable when tiring. Williams: 6 - decent but again end product let him down. Parker: 4 - waste of space Taylor: 4 - annoyed me yesterday, needs to grow up because he could be a very good player Marshall: 6.5 - decent cameo I thought, we looked dangerous and then you remember his crossing is atrocious on a good day Referee: 5 - twat
Phillips: 7 throw don't kick. Better communication Dijksteel: 6.5 better 2nd half Bauer: 6 a few mistakes partic first half Sarr;: 8 put him on set pieces Purrington: 7 improved Cullen: 6 Reeves: 6 Aribo: 7 how we've missed him. Williams: 6 looks good doesn't deliver Parker: 5.5 not really in hte game much Taylor: 5.5 too much petulance. He needs a plan B once we know the ref won't give him anything at all Marshall: 6.5 did well but his crosses are poor Referee: 4 got a lot right but loses 2 points for assuming that every foul on Taylor wasn't a foul, even when it happened right in front of him at the end. Don't know why Parker being fouled didn't count either. Is there a Refs' Union and is it staffed by numpties? Deffo an "awayer".
Phillips: 6 a couple of saves. wasn't troubled much Dijksteel: 7 - some silly fouls. improved with Marshall in front of him. Bauer: 7 Sarr;: 8 mom. solid like Bauer but an extra mark for driving through the middle with the ball on quite a few occasions. no doubt scaring the crap out of the opposition (and possibly a few of our own) Purrington: 6 struggled against their No 2 in the first half. was better/had less to deal with in second. Cullen: 6.5 gave the ball away a little bit but worked hard and some nice passing. Reeves: 5.5 didn't really noticed him when he was on. certainly did when he went off. (though I think it would of changed whoever you bought off in that midfield) Aribo: 7 skills. needs to drive at the defence a bit more. Williams: 6 good runs forward but poor final ball. Parker: 4 - gave him an extra mark purely for his William Dafoe (Platoon) impression when he went down after a nothing challenge with his arms spread out to the sky. Taylor: 5 - harassed them a bit but as many have mentioned gets drawn into playing silly games with defenders and his petulance to the ref is hard to stomach at times. Marshall: 6 individually pretty poor but his presence changed our tactics in the second half and gave as width and more space in the middle. helped the team become better and actually put Blackpool under some pressure. shame he cant cross. go to the byline marshall ffs.
